<br /> ....... Bill Weber was invited to help update the 1992 plan. This most recent document focuses
<br /> strongly on the issue of managing fringe growth. A major achievement of this effort was
<br /> —
<br /> to gain acceptance with the adjacent Towns on a pattern of land use,residential density,
<br /> municipal annexation and utility extensions that would allow the city to expand in a
<br /> compact, cost effective manner.
<br /> —
<br /> ;4 Extensive citizen participation from both the City and adjacent units of
<br /> .,: z• , .% government was one of the keys to this successful planning program. Mr.
<br /> ` "� �., 4 e a Weber held thirty meetings with a citizens committee appointed by the Council,
<br /> conducted two community forums on Saturdays,and provided materials for a
<br /> Web-site,newsletters,newspaper coverage, and meetings with neighborhood
<br /> ` and other civic groups. Fee: $325,000. 2003-2006.

<br /> Vision 20/20: The Springfield - Greene County Comprehensive Plan 1
<br />_. The plan was a joint effort of the City of Springfield and Greene County,Missouri.
<br /> Consequently,the project team was able to craft a vision that encompassed the entire
<br />—" metropolitan community and its hinterland. Urban growth could be managed effectively
<br /> because of the cooperation of the county on zoning, and features that cross jurisdictional
<br /> boundaries, such as roads and surfacewater,could be planned comprehensively. The
<br /> multi jurisdictional nature of the process also led to the creation of a joint city-
<br /> ' , I ; F county park system.
